AGENDA:

SAILSelf-Authored Integrated Learning Initiative

The purpose of SAIL is to create a shared language and approach across Northeastern to foster those life skills and competencies that cross disciplinary boundaries and all experiences in and out of the classroom to help our graduates succeed in any career within our ever-changing, global society.

SAIL provides the foundation for an INTEGRATED LEARNING ECOSYSTEM in which learners can practice:

Example Survey Statistics:

Student Feedback Surveys, Focus Groups, App Shake

PROS CHALLENGESHelps with co-op & career pathways – help

preparing for jobs and interviews

Translating SAIL to non-NU audiences

Take it with me after graduation Upper class students see value faster

Ability to share with advisors and

employers

Don’t make it required – should be Opt-In

Network Understanding the “why” of SAIL – delayed

benefits

Goal Creation Hard finding time to use the app

Skills DNA Would like to have more opportunities in

the system

Example Impacts:• New Shared Visualization• Logo Change• Framing to students• Numerous on app

Faculty Feedback Focus Groups, Ambassadors, Workshops

PROS CHALLENGES

Good to see the whole student Entering coursesWay to expand my course to fit students’ prior experiences

Integrating SAIL into opportunities offered

Appreciate applicability “Teaching” SAIL

Feedback from learners on skills they got out of the opportunity

Breaking courses down into modules

Ability to advertise courses and other eventsAbility to pull into assessment planningStudent pathwaysExample Impacts:

• Discipline Layer • NUpath mapping• Templates and Course level

Beta Test and Forward Open to all with a Northeastern login

Need Faculty involvement to ensure success for our students and our educators.

• Courses as opportunities• Research as opportunities• Oversight Committee• Faculty Advisory Committee• Others?
